We know that book ideas are rarely fully formed at the start. The path from first spark to finished publication can be winding and, at times, overwhelming, especially if this is your first book. We’ve been there ourselves and understand what it takes to keep going.
We publish books with authors, not for them. Our approach is hands-on, collaborative, and jargon-free. It’s designed to meet you where you are and ensure you’re always part of the conversation, never left guessing what comes next.
We’re a small but mighty team of writers, editors, illustrators, and proofreaders who love reading and seeing ideas take shape as books. With decades of combined editorial and publishing experience across magazines, peer-reviewed journals, online media, and corporate communications, we know the process and how to guide authors through it.
We bring the same rigour used in academic publishing to every project, generously sprinkled with our enthusiastic flair. We offer a generous profit share that reflects the value of your work. You retain control of your story, and we succeed only when your book does. A win-win that is simple, transparent, and aligned.
Publishing a book can feel overwhelming, and every author’s journey is different. Here are answers to some of the questions authors ask us most often.
The timeline for publishing a book depends on factors like manuscript readiness, editing, and design. On average, the process from a final manuscript to a print-on-demand book takes 1–3 months.
We work closely with you at every step to ensure a smooth, efficient journey while prioritizing quality and care.
Print-on-demand books are physical copies printed as they’re ordered, giving readers the traditional, tactile experience of a book.
E-books are digital and can be read instantly on tablets, phones, and e-readers.
We help you publish in both formats so your book can reach the widest possible audience.
POD offers key benefits for independent authors:
Eliminates large upfront printing costs and storage fees, making publishing more accessible and cost-effective.
Reduces waste by printing only when books are ordered.
Allows flexible updates or revisions without large new print runs.
POD is a sustainable, author-friendly publishing model.
Yes. An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is required for your book to be catalogued and sold by major retailers.
If you’re publishing both a POD book and an e-book, you’ll need a separate ISBN for each format. We can handle the entire process for you, so your book is correctly registered and ready for distribution.
Professional editing isn’t mandatory for submission, but it greatly improves the clarity, quality, and impact of your manuscript.
Our editorial team offers developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading. If your manuscript isn’t quite ready, we guide you through the necessary editing to make your story shine.
Professional layout and design ensure a smooth, engaging reading experience. From font choices and spacing to compelling cover art, design influences how readers connect with your story.
We provide layout, typesetting, and cover design services to make your book polished, professional, and true to its essence.
One of the biggest advantages of POD is ease of revision. If you need to update your book, we can help revise, reformat, and print the new version quickly, without the high costs of traditional print runs.
Yes! You retain full control of your story. We operate on a fair profit-share model, meaning we succeed only when your book does. This transparent approach ensures your work is valued and your rights are fully protected.
We welcome submissions, but each project must align with our mission and pass our “Spark Test” to ensure it fits our imprint’s focus.
Enthusiasts of Life is dedicated to amplifying real stories that spark connection and insight. We believe every person has a unique “inner spark” and a story worth sharing. Through books, guides, videos, and podcasts, we bring these stories to life and foster a community where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.
We use Print-on-Demand publishing because it makes books accessible, flexible, and sustainable. Authors can publish without large upfront costs or inventory, reduce waste, and update content easily. POD aligns with our goal of supporting independent creators and bringing more ideas into the world.
We’re always looking for talented creators — illustrators, animators, voice actors, and storytellers — who share our passion for amplifying sparks. If you have a project or unique idea that aligns with our mission, we’d love to hear from you!
Reach out through our “Contact” page to propose collaborations or discuss ways we can work together.
Yes! Our self-paced Guides already offer structured, in-depth learning experiences across storytelling, creativity, personal growth, and more. In the future, we plan to expand with live workshops, events, and community gatherings for even deeper engagement.
Have an idea you’re ready to turn into a book you can hold? We’d love to help you bring it to life. Let’s create something real together.
